There are 311 rescue centers also called animal sanctuaries, marked on this map. I believe that this represents about 90% of all animal rescue centers/facilities in the UK. The purpose is to provide a one-stop web page where people can find out how far or near the nearest animal rescue UK center is from them. I hope this proves useful.

Cat Protection is a large rescue organisation that, almost exclusively, uses foster homes in their extensive operation. The foster homes of individual volunters cannot be mapped for obvious reasons and there is no point in mapping them in an case. You might like to visit their website. Update: I have mapped the areas of operation of several branches in the south west region of England. If you slide the map around (click on map and drag mouse) you will see more. Click on the lines, placemarkers and shaded areas to see what they represent. I am working on doing something more comprehensive but the mapping tools that I have at my disposal don’t allow this currently.

The Blue Cross is another large animal rescue operation that has shelters and which uses foster homes. Accordingly their entire operation is not mapped.

The RSPCA is the biggest in the animal rescue field and they have by far the most animal rescue homes or sanctuaries. All of these have been mapped bar one or two. RSPCA sanctuaries should probably be the first places to investigate if you are looking to adopt an animal that needs a home.

Some independent rescue centres have not been mapped because Google could not find them. If you are one of these independent rescue organisations and would like to be on the map, please click the link below.

If there are errors, and there will be some despite my best efforts to achieve accuracy, please also click on the relevant link below and tell me if you have the time.
